Since I upgraded to a i7 PC with Win 7 Pro 64 bits I have the following problem
when working with Cubase 6. I am pretty sure Cubase is not the problem here.
My Adam P-33 monitors emit high frequency computer noises (buzzing). They are not very loud
but really disturbing if you are used to a cal environment. It seems like this happens during HD activity.
The noise is also audible when the volume knob of my montor controller is down to zero.
When I pull off the firewire cable of my soundcard(Motu 896 HD) the noise dissappears.
I read different things about grounding loops and bad cables but couldn’t figure it out.
Have you tried reorienting the cable to see if the noise goes away when you move it around ?
There are so many things that could be causing the noise it will probably take a while to find out the real cause.
What brand is your motherboard ?
I assume you didn’t have the noise issue with your old system, if so I doubt if the Motu firewire cable is the cause, but it could be the new motherboard itself.
My MOTU is a firewire device. Re-orientating the fiwire cable
didn’t make any difference. My motherboard is a Gigabyte X58-USB3.
I know there can be lots of causes but I was looking for an uncomplicated approach
to fix this issue. I hope someone else had a similar issue to tell my what to do.
I have a Motu 2408MkII & 1224 so I do know some of their issues, but not this one as I’m still on XP Pro, so I guess you’ll have to see if someone else can help.
Listing your motherboard should help in case someone else has a similar problem.
